‘Girl Meets World’ Spoilers: Will Cory and Topanga Still Be in Focus?

From the moment the Disney Channel announced that it was partnering with 'Boy Meets World' creator Michael Jacobs to develop a spin-off series around Cory and Topanga's daughter Riley with 'Girl Meets World,' fans of the series have been abuzz about what other characters from the classic ABC series might appear. We've since learned from all involved that 'Girl Meets World' will definitely be its own show, but how much of Cory and Topanga can we actually expect to see? Jacobs speaks out about the pilot inside!

Original series creator, and 'Girl Meets World' executive producer and pilot helmer Michael Jacobs sat down with Entertainment Weekly to clarify a few bits of the pilot, particularly that the decision to parallel Riley's growing up with that of her parents' experiences and growth prevented him from passing on the original pitch.

Cory Matthews doesn’t know how to be a father. He’s following in the footsteps of [Mr. Feeney], the most influential character in his life. Should he be? Will he succeed? Can he influence children like Feeney influenced children?

What is Topanga’s observation of that? How does she help? And what is Topanga’s life? And what has she become? You’ll remember we left the series and they were in Philly and they were going on an adventure to go to New York. Did they succeed? Did it work? All of that will be answered in the pilot.

Jacobs also revealed that young Riley would definitely contain character facets of both her parents, but one much more-so than the other, to be revealed as the series unfolds. Of course, the producer kept mum on specifics about what past character could return as the series goes on, but did claim to have spoken to a number of 'Boy Meets World' stars who had expressed interest in taking part in the series.
